Dove Cameron: Disney Upfronts with Chloe & Halle Bailey

Dove Cameron arrives at the 2013 Disney Channel Kids Upfront held at Hudson Theatre on Tuesday afternoon (March 12) in New York City.

The 16-year-old actress was just announced as the star of Cloud 9 and new pilot, Liv & Maddie over the weekend.

The show follows an outstanding student and school basketball phenomenon whose popularity is on the rise until her twin sister, a television star, makes a triumphant return to their Wisconsin high school. Dove stars as the title twins.

“We haven’t started shooting yet. I just started basketball training,” Dove shared with us. “I’m 5’2 and I’m a very small person, so basically I’m dunking already. I am Michael Jordan. But no, it’s been incredible. Disney found me a really great coach.”

Also spotted on the carpet: N.B.T. winners Chloe and Halle Bailey.
